About this guide

BRZ oil-filter fitment splits by generation. The 2013–2021 BRZ uses the FA20-era filter family, while 2022+ BRZ uses the FA24 2.4L family shown by catalog listings such as Subaru OE 15208AA170 and WIX WL10078. Do not choose by Toyota/Subaru branding, color, or thread appearance: confirm model year, engine, VIN, gasket, and the manufacturer catalog. This list avoids counting Toyota/Subaru rebrands as separate picks.

Buying tips

  • Identify 2013–2021 FA20 versus 2022+ FA24 before searching a part number.
  • Use a manufacturer catalog and VIN where available; a cross-reference is not proof for a different engine generation.
  • Replace the crush washer and follow the owner’s manual for oil grade, level check, and interval.
  • Do not extend service intervals merely because a filter advertises a long-life media.
